I've already asked this in comp.sys.mac.apps, and got a couple of good
replies, but I had been hoping for a lot more.
I'm about to buy my first color Mac (IIsi), and I want to get a good
8-bit color graphics program to go with it.
MUST HAVE features:
Ease of use -- so even my 9-year old can use it comfortably.
Fun to use -- so all my kids (and myself) WILL use it.
Not too limiting -- because my older kids are pretty good artists.
Reasonable price -- say, $300 tops, discount price.
Doesn't break on a IIsi!
I don't care about:
Color separation, etc. -- I don't plan to buy a color printer. :-(
Precision -- it's for artistic enjoyment, not drafting.
Would be nice:
My kids really like gradient fills in Studio/1; I think similar special
effects would be lots of fun, if they don't complicate the interface
too much.
I've gotten two recommendations for PixelPaint, one mention of Color
MacCheese, and one person points out that Zedcor has a great sale on
now for its DeskPaint/DeskDraw DAs.
In the past I've found the opinions of you fellow net-users to be very
helpful indeed; please let me know what you think. E-mail is best (to
conserve bandwidth--I'll see any postings also); I'll summarize if I
get enough (or meaty enough) responses.
